Can't share the complete code because the app's closed source and still in stealth mode, but here's how I'm using React Router and Redux in a large app with server rendering and code splitting on routes.

Server

1. Wildcard Express route configures a Redux store for each request and makes an addReducers() callback available to the getComponents() method of each React Router route. Each route is responsible for adding any Redux reducers it needs when it's loaded. (This isn't really necessary on the

FreeBSD 10 Nodejs setup with nginx, mongodb, redis and monit

This my receipe for installing a complete nodejs server on FreeBSD 10. The parameters used in this configuration are for a very small private server that I use for demo purpose only, so for a production server, you should somehow set the limits in pair with your ressources.

I use monit so I don't have to write rc scripts for node and it should take care of process lifecycle management for me. Alternatives exists such as supervisord or circus.

Demo: Coordinating async React with non-React views

tl;dr I built a demo illustrating what it might look like to add async rendering to Facebook's commenting interface, while ensuring it appears on the screen simultaneous to the server-rendered story.

A key benefit of async rendering is that large updates don't block the main thread; instead, the work is spread out and performed during idle periods using cooperative scheduling.

But once you make something async, you introduce the possibility that things may appear on the screen at separate times. Especially when you're dealing with multiple UI frameworks, as is often the case at Facebook.

How do we solve this with React?

better caches with rethinkdb

TL;DR - smelly software engineer discusses using rethinkdb changefeeds for building caches, breaks hearts, shaves the cheerleader, shaves the world.

Let's talk about caches.

Imagine that you build UIs for an ecommerce company, possibly in a fancy office with free coffee and whatnot. You've just been asked to build a way for the marketing / sales folks to change landing pages whenever they're running campaigns. After a number of angry discussions involving the ux team about what they can and cannot change, you settle on a 'document' format for these pages. It could be json describing a tree of widgets of banners and carousels, or html, or yaml, or whatever. Maybe you also invent a dsl that marks out parts of the document as dynamic, based on request parameters or something. I dunno, I'm not your boss. You build a little ui over the weekend (with react? maybe!) that lets these folks login, drag and drop their banners, maybe upload an image or two, and save to database.

This API was removed in React 17

Interaction tracing with React

React recently introduced an experimental profiler API. After discussing this API with several teams at Facebook, one common piece of feedback was that the performance information would be more useful if it could be associated with the events that caused the application to render (e.g. button click, XHR response). Tracing these events (or "interactions") would enable more powerful tooling to be built around the timing information, capable of answering questions like "What caused this really slow commit?" or "How long does it typically take for this interaction to update the DOM?".

With version 16.4.3, React added experimental support for this tracing by way of a new NPM package, scheduler. However the public API for this package is not yet finalized and will likely change with upcoming minor releases, so it should be used with caution.
